I think your right on here. I've been told by a couple fire "experts"
that unless you carry a 100lb bottle a halon system in the engine
compartment would be pretty useless in flight.
On the ground with the plane not moving you might be able to extinguish
a fire or at least give you more time to exit the airplane.
